"Maryland in Liberia" recounts the history of the colony established by the Maryland State Colonization Society at Cape Palmas on the southwest coast of Africa between 1833 and 1853. Authored by John Hazlehurst Boneval Latrobe, this historical account details the motivations, establishment, and challenges faced by the Maryland colony within Liberia. The book provides a detailed look at the social, political, and economic aspects of this colonization effort, offering insights into the relationships between the American colonists and the indigenous populations. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the complex dynamics of 19th-century colonization and its impact on both American and African societies. This volume preserves a crucial chapter in the intertwined histories of the United States and Liberia.
